Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.

Shanisa was a wonderful sitter! My home was left cleaned and organized and my pups were happy as can be. She was prompt to respond and even though i was away for only a weekend, she made sure to send pictures and videos to me. Would highly recommend!

Sabrina was fantastic. She was thankfully available for a last minute house sitting with Franklin. He's a rescue so it can be tricky getting him used to folks. She had no problem getting him out for walks and hanging out with him. Truly appreciative!

Gavin dropped in on my pup who is post-surgery and needs to be kept quiet. She loved Gavin! He sent several photos and descriptive updates, which I always appreciate from sitters, and especially appreciated for this visit. We also have shy cats who came around to him. Will definitely book again!

Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.

Leslie provided exceptional care for our dogs! She was thorough with communications, messages, and picture updates for the 5 days we were away, she was very affectionate to our dogs, spent lots of time keeping our dogs and cat company, and kept good watch over our home. I would highly recommend Leslie for your pets, and we already plan to use her for another trip next month!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I was conditioned to be a cat lady from a very young age and have never gone a time in my life where I did not own a cat (or three). I also grew up with five big beautiful husky/wolf mixes as well as, a Cocker Spaniel, Jack Russell Terrier, and a few senior rescue dogs my grandparents would foster. My husband and I are avid animal lovers and have passed down this love to our son. He is obsessed with animals of all kinds and has no fear regardless of size. We currently own three cats but no dogs at this time. If your pet is child-friendly, I can guarantee they will get all the love, affection, and attention from our sweet son and of course us. (As well as running all that energy!) If they are not, that's okay too! I am still available to share my love and time. I have a very flexible schedule with my job and work hybrid. I create my own schedule however, there are times I am needed in-person for a meeting. I will update my availability accordingly. My son is in daycare so your furbaby will have all my attention. My three cats are good with dogs and have been around them before. My job also gives ample amount of time off for holidays so if you are looking to be away, go visit family, etc. I will be available for full days (I get three days off for Thanksgiving, two weeks off at Christmas, a week for Spring break, etc.) If you choose to have your furbaby accompanying me on my work-from-home days, we live in a home that was converted into apartments and share a backyard that is not fenced but spacious if they are trained however, I would be taking your pet on leashed walks, or if you prefer to a dog park. My home is currently toddler proof therefore pretty much pet-proof (I keep cat food and boxes out of reach for toddler). Your pet would either be with me in my office space or in the living room and get many walks to stretch their legs should they be with me on my work-from-home days. I can also work remotely from your home if this is a preferred option.

About: I've had a love for kittens since I was 4 yrs old and puppies followed shortly after! I've always been a pet mom since I was a child! Sky and Tiger came along when I was just a kiddo, those were my first two kittens that I had the pleasure of raising. Then me and mom moved and we became dog mom's! We got Lanie a beautiful German shepherd when I was about 8-9 years old and then came Whiskers (another cat) shortly after that! Even though we were dog mom's our deep love for cats never left! A few years later in my teenage years we got three dogs! I lived in a home that never slept and we loved animals dearly. Now in my adults years, I've been able to house two cats that I rescued and raised from birth! I love animals, I respect their boundaries and I love to play with them as well only if they'll allow me to! I work as a Mobile Therapist full-time, however I am able to create my own schedule so my hours are extremely flexible! My morning's and weekends are usually pretty clear. In my own home I spend quality time with my cat Little Bear, we watch movies together and he eats right before I eat! I give treats, quality time, play time, and we watch movies together as well! I also make sure that my Little Bear get's some fresh air daily by simply opening a window so that he can people and bird watch or by letting him out into my back screened in sun room. I follow clear directions when caring for others pets, however you want it done! As long as it's safe and in the best interest of your pet I'll get it done for you!

This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!

About: I have had dogs in my home for the past 10 years. I’ve had my own personal dog for the past 5. I work at an animal hospital, so I have tons of experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I am confident in my ability to administer medications, if needed (oral, transdermal, injectable, inhalant). I raise puppies for a service dog organization, so I have experience with puppies who are still learning. My degree is in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and I am seeking higher education. My personal pup is with me almost 24/7. I am very blessed that she is able to come to work with me. I work 4 10 hour shifts, so I’m free 3 days a week on a consistent schedule. I occasionally have family events or Puppy Club events on those days, so scheduling ahead is always appreciated. I do accept same day reservations when I’m available. I always check fencing prior to allowing a pet outside in a yard. While walking, I carry an emergency kit. I always have a backup leash and collar/training collar in my car in case a pup got to them without the parents knowledge (yes, I’ve needed them before).

Chris did a fantastic job of taking care of Dutch, our 14 lb Havanese. She communicated regularly and when he appeared to have an upset stomach she cooked some special, easy to digest food. I plan on using her whenever we need help with Dutch.

Shanisa is a very thorough, professional and caring sitter! Upon our first meeting she had some great questions for me about my dogs, and had me ensure that their rover profiles were fully complete so that she had all of the info needed during her stay. She treated my home with respect and left everything just as she had found it, if not better.

When faced with an unexpected medical issue while caring for our pups, Olivia proved herself an excellent choice. She calmly and competently managed the situation while keeping us up to date with clear and frequent communication and follow up. As a bonus, she takes beautiful pictures of the dogs. She’s dependable, gets along splendidly with our dogs and we would gladly use her services again.

Kara is THE BEST. We needed house sitting services for the first time ever, as we would be overseas for two weeks. This is also the longest we’ve ever left our fur baby! Kara took such good care of our Oli, there’s a good chance she doesn’t want us back and would rather keep Kara! Kara is so caring for Oli, considerate of the house, and great with communication. You won’t find a better sitter for your furry friend.
